Song Xia was completely stunned when she was chosen by the system; she couldn't understand it at all. She had never given birth, and her heart had long since turned to ice, so why was she chose...
With the Lunar New Year approaching, Director Qu gave everyone a five-day holiday. Because of his reputation as a great director, the production was well-funded, and each staff member received a large red envelope.
When Song Xia and Song Xing returned to their residence, the housekeeper had already cleaned the house spotlessly and, under Sister Hua's arrangement, had decorated it with many festive decorations.
Lying on the soft bed, Song Xinghe slowly pulled herself out of the drama. There was no way she could keep up with her mother's acting skills; if she didn't fully immerse herself in the role, she simply couldn't keep up with her mother's performance. Her mother had high expectations for this drama, and she absolutely couldn't let her down.
"Is 'He Came from the Sea' almost finished airing?"
"Yes, Valentine's Day is in two days, and the last two episodes will air on Valentine's Day."
After learning that the final two episodes would air on Valentine's Day, many female viewers finally gave the streaming platform a break. They had thought the platform would continue to cause trouble for the finale, but it did something decent and stopped them from waiting any longer.
But does this mean we won't be able to go out and celebrate Valentine's Day?
No problem, netizens quickly made their choice: they'll just spend Valentine's Day during the day and dedicate the evening to watching dramas. Boyfriends are nothing compared to beautiful love stories. Even if they can't have that kind of love in real life, why can't the protagonists in dramas have it?
Most importantly, in the last two episodes, it's finally time for the male lead and the female supporting character to make a choice: will they stay to accompany their loved ones, or will they protect their people and leave together?
Both options seem reasonable, but choosing either one is extremely cruel.
So online opinions on the final ending are divided into two camps. One camp believes that their love is so beautiful that it's best for them to stay together. If they were separated, wouldn't they both be lonely for the rest of their lives? Wouldn't they never see each other again until death? That would be too cruel.
But another faction said, "Aren't the lives of the merfolk important? They are the only two strong ones left in the clan. The others are either too old or too young. What if the clan goes to a new world and no one will protect them?"
[It would be great if the female lead and the second male lead could leave with them too.]
[Didn't the show explain that the human body is fragile, and human technology isn't yet capable of time travel?]
Do you think there's a possibility that the final ending will involve a technological leap forward, allowing free travel between the two worlds?
[That's unlikely. The merfolk have only heard about the world on the other side of the teleportation array in records. They don't even know if this journey is a dead end, so it wouldn't be that easy.]
[We already have merfolk, what's so strange about that? Perhaps humanity will eventually discover ancient cultivation methods, and then, in tandem with technology, enter another ancient and desolate world?]
[Upstairs, here's a pen, you write it. Seriously, the next installment could totally be filmed like this—a contemporary romance with a sci-fi cultivation element; it's really captivating.]
[By the way, aren't you guys going off-topic?]
[Ahhh, all I want to know is how the story ends! Valentine's Day is only two days away, I can't wait!]
On Valentine's Day, many men found their girlfriends distracted during their dates, which left them feeling helpless. Well, they admitted that "He Came From the Sea" was indeed well-made, but surely it didn't warrant such absent-mindedness?
Because of Wen Tian's sudden popularity, many men have started to work out to improve their physique. They can't help it, their girlfriends don't like it!
It has to be said that Wen Tian's appearance has indeed changed the aesthetics of some netizens, and he is now a veritable top idol.
To match his meteoric rise to fame, the company's founder, Du Junfang, did not hesitate to renegotiate his revenue-sharing contract, giving him a great deal of autonomy. The company had originally planned to poach a new agent for him, but like Song Xinghe, he was sentimental and felt that his original agent was quite responsible, so he didn't change him. Du Junfang could only assign him a few more clever assistants.
Du Junfang is worried. The artists are becoming famous too fast, and he, as the boss, can't keep up with their pace. Before, he was afraid that the company wouldn't be popular, but now he's afraid that the company will be too popular.
Senior Song made Wen Tian famous with just one drama. As Senior Song's biological daughter, won't Song Xinghe get even more resources in the future?
After pondering for a long time, Du Junfang suddenly realized that Senior Song had not mentioned any plans for further cooperation until now. Was he waiting for Du Junfang to take the initiative?
"Honey, what do you think about giving Senior Song some shares in his company?"
His wife seemed startled upon hearing this: "Are you stupid? This is your own company. Why should you give her shares for no reason? Doesn't she get a share of the profits from the TV series? Besides, Song Xinghe's contract is even more lenient than Wen Tian's. Don't be so kind."
Du Junfang still felt it was inappropriate: "We've made so much money thanks to them, haven't we? If Senior Song takes Song Xinghe and sets up their own studio, we'll completely lose the opportunity to work together. If there's another big hit drama in the future, we'll only be able to watch from the sidelines. The movie she's currently filming with Song Xinghe doesn't include us, does it?"
The more he thought about it, the more he realized he had been too slow to react: "Not only should shares be given, but they shouldn't be too few, and a portion of the company's decision-making power should also be transferred out."
His wife still felt it was a loss: "Then the company we worked so hard to build will just belong to someone else?"
"Before this drama, how much money did the company make? It was already close to breaking even. What were you planning back then? Withdrawing funds and letting the company fend for itself? It couldn't be worse than that. Wouldn't it be better if Senior Song managed the company's business and we slowly shared the profits? And honey, how long has it been since we spent time with the kids and went on our honeymoon because of this company?"
His wife, after hearing his explanation, agreed that it made sense. The money they'd invested had already more than doubled thanks to this one drama, so there was no way they'd lost money. Besides, Wen Tian hadn't left because of Song Xinghe's management contract with the company. If Song Xinghe left, Wen Tian definitely wouldn't stay either, and then the company's operations would be in trouble…
The two exchanged a glance and shuddered. Fortunately, they hadn't realized it too late. They would visit Senior Song's house tomorrow and quickly hand over the shares.
To outsiders, the booming talent agency is like a hot potato to Du Junfang. Although the cake is delicious, he can't eat it all by himself. If he wants to take it all for himself, he can only wait for the cake to spoil.
Only by exchanging old cakes for chefs who know how to make them can we have a continuous supply of new cakes to eat.
Song Xia was not surprised to learn that Du Junfang was coming to visit tomorrow, and she understood his intentions. However, she did not expect Du Junfang to be so quick to understand. She originally thought she would have to wait for some time and a better opportunity to provoke him.
